A Happy Dog's Summer of Sea and Shore - *cough,cough, nudge nudge* 7/11

Nice - camping and a night at AKL! I love AKL. LOVE it and I love the pools there and the restaurants and the animals and the castmembers and all the cool artwork.....OK I'll stop now.

Have an AWESOME trip. I will keep my fingers crossed that the weather is great for camping. You are braver than me.

Oh, and water park....:thumbsup2:thumbsup2
 
Finally getting time to post!! How exciting that you are camping at FW. That sounds like fun. We just found the love of camping this past year with DS in scouts and I don't think it could get any better than camping at FW!!! :)

You will love the water parks. Both are great in their own way. Can't wait to hear which one you decide on.

Looking forward to meeting you and your family on the 2nd. I will PM you my cell in case something happens but sure hoping you will be there.

Do you leave today? It is sooo close!!! :banana:
 
I can't wait to hear all about the boys reactions to the JS invite! I'll bet they were mega excited!

You are almost on your way!!
 

Off on another adventure. Hope you enjoy and that you're able to fit Bluezoo into the schedule! :rotfl2: at your husband's suggestion the kids play outside while you enjoy. ;)
 
are you guys going to rent on of the golf carts? The kids would get a kick exploring the fort on one.

Have a great trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I feel all Hannah Montana, but I think you are getting the best of both worlds with camping AND a stay at the Animal Kingdom Lodge! So much fun to be had! Your vacation is really shaping up into something very, very, very fun!!! :yay:
Thanks CP! I think we will be having a great time too! How does one feel like Hannah Montana exactly??!! Ha!
My goodness! You guys are going to have so much fun! My kids want to go camping so badly...I think Disney camping might be the best!:goodvibes Especially with a stay at the AKL following.;)

As for water parks. We did Typhoon Lagoon when my two were 6 and 8. My older one is tall so he was able to do all the slides. My younger one was tall enough for most but she's not adventurous so we did all the splash stuff. One warning about there-the wave pools is really STRONG! I saw so many kids come out with bloody knees/hands/elbows. We are beach people so my kids handled it better but the current there is really like being in the ocean. We loved it because it was so realistic and big but I know that is a drawback for some.

I have heard from family and others that Blizzard Beach is good for that "middle" age group. I wish I could tell you firsthand but my DH realized that we could go to Aquatica (Sea World's waterpark) for free with our Busch Gardens passes and so we have been going there each year now.:rolleyes:
Hey there! Thanks for the tips! I. Think we'll count on blizzard beach!

Hi there everyone!!!! YES we are back on land, though I still feel a little like I am swaying! We had a great time! IT was so much fun! Lots of sun and great food and great times with the boys. NON stop I tell you!!! We left the Dream yesterday morning :sad:, and headed to the NASA visitor's center, where we had never been. We spent most of the day there, then headed to Vero Beach! We got here right about 4:00... maybe a little earlier. Room was ready, reservations for the character Pirate dinner are made, and we are looking at a variety of kids activities, and another dinner here at the Resort. Then probably eating light because we didn't do that on the cruise :rotfl: Kinda excited that the kids will get to wear their Pirate costumes TWICE! Double dip! :laughing:

The weather seems a little overcast, but they say that burns off then comes back later, so we'll cross our fingers! Have not explored too much yet, everyone was REALLY tired last night, we all got a great sleep after a quick dinner and the boys had baths in the ginormous bathtub!!!! The tub is bigger than in the other 1 bedroom villas we have stayed in! But exploring is first on the list! So much to do here, really looking forward to the next five days! :)

Oh, and I walked into the store and a very cute Vero Beach Tshirt is on sale, so that might be coming home with me! :rolleyes1 AND the other shopping tips WigD gave me! We will see I think we got plenty to keep us busy!!! :goodvibes

We have internet service, so I will be back to check on you all here and there during the week!!! :thumbsup2
 
OMG - I totally did that "swaying" thing after I went on a cruise. It was so bad I couldn't even hold my head up at dinner the first night home.

Really looking forward to reading all about yoru cruise. Enjoy the rest of your trip!
 
Ugh on the swaying, I had vertigo for 2 weeks after a cruise once and am really hoping it never happens again and was just an isolated incident. Have fun at Vero, I can't wait to hear about it!!
 
Have a wonderful time at Vero :goodvibes Sounds like you are armed with good shopping tips from the Grand Enabler herself:rotfl2: So nice of her to scope everything out for you ;)
Sounds like you had an awesome time on the Dream....hope the weather holds out for you today..if not it sounds like you have a lot that you can do around the resort :thumbsup2

Have fun!!:)

Tracy
 
Yeay! Happydog is back on land!!! Glad you had a great time on the cruise! I seriously cannot wait to hear all about it!!! It sounds like you are going to have an absolutely amazing time at Vero as well! Again, I can't wait to hear all about that, too!!! Soak up all that sun and fun and eat a Mickey bar for me! :mickeybar I think I am going to take the kids to the pool with all my schoolwork today. I have to give a presentation tomorrow, and it might be a good idea to be prepared for it. LOL!
 
Hey!!! I've been out for a while....again, but I saw you had a PTR. I came back to read about your latest adventure! Hope you had a fabulous trip and can't wait to read all about it!:thumbsup2
